More love in the world or less hatred?

[Nylan]

I always thought it was a love/hate slider...

 

[Brighteye]

the people you hate the most are people you once loved. exgirlfriend/wives, former friends(who for one reason or another you've come to be mad at), family members that have angered you.

the court system even [recognises] "crimes of passion".

Less Hate for me...

Love is too volatile an emotion and can easy disintegrate to hate when careless.

Cultivating the ability not to hate however, goes a long way in creating a more peaceful world.

Hate does not defeat love.
Love can defeat hate.
Rock paper scissors.

I'm wondering where the empirical evidence for this is, or even a logical justification. If one person loves another, and is hated back, it's really rather likely that love will be useless and ineffectual.

Life is passion. More love means more passion, less hatred means less passion.

That's what I'd say. More emotion means more irrationality, more idiocy, more foolishness, and therefore more injustice, more carelessness, more suffering, and also more jealousy.
Whereas removing hate allows what love there is free reign.

Actually I think less indifference would be the best one. Lots of people arent evil, but take no action against evil because they are apathetic.

I shall explain what the different options could result in:

So the question is: would you prefer moderation or polarisation? A lukewarm world, not too bad but a bit dull, or a hot one, with great love and some hate going on?

Dude, this isn't chemistry.

Love for someone that hates you is not useless or ineffectual. It's not necessarily about other people.

That's what I'd say. More emotion means more irrationality, more idiocy, more foolishness, and therefore more injustice, more carelessness, more suffering, and also more jealousy.

Removing the hate?

And doing what with it, exactly?

(No, it's not fair to ask you that.)

It isn't chemistry, but my example shows the possible results in a simplified form.

No, it doesn't, it really misses the point entirely. I mean, unless by "simplified" you mean "simplified beyond relevance", in which case, sure.

Do your love-hate-math if it makes sense to you. It just sounds completely ridiculous to me.

 

[bhsup]

This question really isn't even debatable. Seek The Captain and Tennille for the truth.

Love can always destroy hatred on its own, and less hatred only makes love's job easier. A 50/50 choice really, buyt I went with love.

 

[Tasslehoff]

I went with less hate.

Interestingly, it's exactly 50-50 at the moment.

I was wondering when you were gonna show up to this thread.

What's the pic, it reminds me of a bull?

NESing keeps me from OT for days at a time.

A molecular orbital diagram or MO diagram for short is a qualitative descriptive tool explaining chemical bonding in molecules in terms of molecular orbital theory in general and the Linear combination of atomic orbitals molecular orbital method (LCAO method) in particular [1] [2] [3]. This tool is very well suited for simple diatomic molecules such as dihydrogen, dioxygen and carbon monoxide but becomes more complex when discussing polynuclear molecules such as methane. It explains why some molecules exist and not others, how strong bonds are, and what electronic transitions take place.

I know more who hate, than I do who love. I think most problems aren't from hate, but plain apathy.

 

[Narz]

Vote people. Don't let hate win!

 

[LucyDuke]

Well, I agree with you, but it's anti-hate in question. Not hate. Anti-hate isn't a bad thing. Pro-love is just a better thing.

Yeah, I know, I was just being silly.
